The New Talent Awards in partnership with Architas aims to celebrate the emerging talent in financial advice - recognising and identifying the sector's future leaders as well as shining the spotlight on the organisations and individuals that are helping develop and foster new talent

The Specialist Investment awards are designed to recognise two increasingly important but to date under-recognised elements of the asset management industry; boutique & specialist fund managers and passive investing.

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) has said it does not expect to raise an interim levy in any sector this year, though CEO Mark Neale said he recognises this will come as "cold comfort" to some advisers.
